How Much DO Movies Actually Make?

Jack Newman

So I chose the Vega Movies dataset to analyze, looking at how much American movies gross within and outside of the US.

This is the basic scatter that I made at first and as you can see it isn't very good since it shows all they years at once.

As a solution I have created a sophisticated Altair visualization that aggregates and clarifies different aspects of my data.

The visualization has a year selection slider, interactive legend, point scaling, and tooltips.

As you can see as time goes on American movies gross more money within and outside of the US,

More than that you can see that many movies cluster in the bottom left corner with few outliers that "break the box office."

You can also see how Reveal butchered my poor visualizations, honestly they look so bad in Reveal and so good in my Jupyter Notebook.
